Installation Manual

GAS SUPPLY

The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to

establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation, have the

gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with

the necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).

Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional appliance installer.

All appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means of isolating

the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.

Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged

so that piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe

joint compound / thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.

The appliance and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi [3.5

kPa].

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual

shutoff valve during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2

psi [3.5 kPa].

NEVER CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding,

ensure the appliance is fitted for Natural or Liquid Propane gas. Connecting to an improper gas

type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Gas type and gas

consumption (BTU per hour) for each burner type is shown on the rating label.

Installation of this cooking appliance must be made in accordance with local codes. In the absence

of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No.

Z223.1/ NFPA 54

, Natural Gas and Propane Installation code

CSA B149-1

, or Propane Storage and

Handling Code B149.2.

NOTE: See rating label for manifold pressure for the type of gas of your appliance.

The gas connection at the back of the range (see below) features 1/2”NPT internal AND 3/4”NPT

external threads. Connect to gas supply using a minimum 3/4” inside diameter (1” OD) flexible

(semi–rigid) stainless steel gas hose with appropriate end fittings to prevent gas starvation. This

hose should be no more than 48” [1.2 m] in length. Use the appropriate thread sealant on all

connections. Do not apply sealant to flare fittings.

The supply line must not interfere with the rear of the range. Use caution when pushing the range

against the back wall, so that you do not kink or crimp the flex hose as this could result in a gas

leak.
